She was too exhausted to do anything but walk sluggishly toward her room, she was mad at Chishiya for wanting her to die but that can wait. For now, her sweet bed awaited her."You've got to be kidding me." She sighed in annoyance to see Niragi still in her room, surrounded by empty chip packets and nose-deep in a romance novel. He looked up like a deer caught in headlights and grinned, "Hi Akira, what a pleasant surprise to see you here."
"This is my room you turdburger, and those are my chips." She shook her head in annoyance and lay in her bed. "Can you please leave, I need my beauty sleep?" He smirked at her, wiggling his eyebrows, "You don't need beauty sleep, your pretty enough." She groaned in annoyance and put her pillow over her head to block him out.
She felt movement beside her and turned to see Niragi sitting next to her. "What game did you play that got you so mad?" "It was horrible, I decided whether people lived or died." He watched her in silence, it was clear he had no problem with killing people. "But you've killed people before, what makes it different?"
"It's not that, my friend voted for me to die. I could've been killed because of that stupid asshole. It's not like I did anything, I kept him alive after he cut a fucking woman in half."
Niragi narrowed his eyes, "He?" "Chishiya, he is such a bitch!" The man nodded and left, letting her sleep.
It was midday when Akira finally left the room. She needed food since she hadn't had dinner yesterday or breakfast today. "This better be the tastiest food I ever had." She grumbled and entered the restaurant.
She saw a plate of spaghetti and quickly grabbed it and sat down at a booth, too lazy to go back to her room. "Mind if I join you?" She rolled her eyes at the voice, looking up in disgust. "Yes actually, I would." Chishiya nodded and walked away, causing Akira to sigh in relief and continue stuffing her face.
She relaxed too soon, the man sat opposite her with a plate of food, he put a small cupcake in front of her and a juice. She scoffed and ignored him. "Why so rude?" He watched her smirking. She ignored him still. No way was she wasting her breath on him.
She felt him watching her, but gave him no attention. "Don't be a rude Chipmunk." He said softly. She looked him in the eye, glaring. "Only I can say that. Not killers. Plus I don't want to be a Chipmunk with you anymore."
He smirked and watched her. God damn, give me a break. "I did what I had to do." "Killing me was not a requirement. Friends don't want to kill each other." "I didn't realise we were friends." He spoke coolly.
"I have saved your life twice, I kept you alive and you pull that shit." He shrugged and kept watching her. "You are such a bitch, do you know that?" He smirked "I'm your bitch."
I'm sorry? What the fuck? Please explain. Akira sat wordlessly, mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. She was shocked, to say the least, and to her disgust butterflies filled her. "Eat your cake." He smirked at her, pleased with his ability to stun her.
She nodded and reached for the dessert in silence. "Hey, darling, what are ya doing?" Niragi sat beside her, putting his arm around her shoulder. For once she was thankful for his appearance. "Try again and nothing much." He nodded and grabbed her food, eating the cake in two bites.
Looking across the table Akira found Chishiya glaring daggers into Niragi's head, Niragi smirked at the man while sitting closer to Akira. "What's up Shuntaro?" He casually spoke but was teasing the man. Without a word, Chishiya left the table and restaurant.
"What a dick." Niragi took his seat now sitting opposite Akira. As much as she regret to say it, she was disappointed that Chishiya didn't stay with her.
"Why are you with him? Didn't he try to kill you?" "He was apologising." She said weakly. Niragi laughed "You know he just wants something, that freak wouldn't apologize to anyone." She nodded quietly, sipping her juice while Niragi ate.
"Omg, I need to see if Kuina is okay!" Akira stood quickly, knocking the table as she went. "Hey, we were having a date!" She rolled her eyes at the man "You and I both know you sat with me to get Chishiya mad." "What! I like you too." She laughed and quickly walked away.
She couldn't find her pretty friend and started to worry. What if she didn't survive her game? She paced the lobby before searching the inside of the hotel. She had no idea what room she had or where Chishiyas's room was either. She walked through halls and up floors until she found a dimly lit hallway.
She heard voices coming from a room and kept closer. "No, we can't use her." "Kuina, you aren't getting attached are you?" Chishiya laughed. "Look, we get her to work for us and then we can leave, no harm done." "But?" "No, Kuina."
She's alive! Akira slammed the door open causing the two inside to turn in shock. She ran to the woman and hugged her tightly. "My dear, I thought you were dead!" Kuina hugged her tightly "Don't worry sweetie I'm alive." Akira let her go smiling.
"I can't believe I didn't find you sooner." "It's okay." She looked around the room she was in and found it was a security room, where many screens showed the camera footage.
"Why are you in here with Chishiya?" She wiggles her eyebrows. "Fuck no, Akira!" "If you say so." She sat on a desk watching the two. The man stood watching her, smirking at her.
He walked closer to her and bent down to her level. "Hey Kira, will you do something for me?" He spoke softly causing her heart rate to speed up. He glanced at her lips quickly before continuing. "Can you steal the cards from Hatter for me?"
The moment was instantly ruined. "What?" He moved away from her. "We need you to steal the cards." Kuina glared at him angrily.
"You need to pull your shit together Chishiya." He seemed surprised for a fraction of a second. "First you try to kill me, then you say confusing things to me that make me think twice about you, and now you want me to get myself killed." She stood up angrily and walked to the door.
"Why the hell would I agree with you? You low-lying shit." She walked away angrily.
Maybe she overreacted a tad, but she didn't want to be used so that Chishiya could be successful. She saw Ann walking towards her and grinned. "Hey Ann, I want to cut open dead people." Ann smiled at her and nodded.
"Follow me, let's go open bodies." The two women arrived at the basement of the building, it was grey and boring not like the dead would be mad about it though.
Opening the door Akira looked around in surprise, two naked women lay on a steel table, many incisions covering their bodies. She saw one had a laser hole through her head and the other a bullet wound.
She washed her hands and put on gloves. "So what are we looking for?" "Any computer chips or abnormalities in the brain." She nodded and grabbed a knife, "What do abnormalities look like?" "Just focus on the chip for now." "Right."
The two worked in silence, focusing on the dead bodies. "How did you know how to throw knives?" Ann laughed, "It was a party trick that I used to impress people. When I put the blindfold on it was lucky I didn't hit him." "Did you party a lot?"
Ann grinned, "I was a party animal for a while." "I had no clue."
Ann looked up at her, watching her work. "You seemed off after the game." "Yeah I was, Chishiyas vote messed me up." Ann nodded "He thought it through, probably thought that either you would still survive or that you got in the way of one of his plans. He does whatever he must to het his way."
Akira nodded thoughtfully but stopped when she thought back to last night. "One other thing." Ann hummed in response, "The game knew me, it knew I was the Ringmaster." "What do you mean?" "Well, when I returned my cards a screen said 'Well done Akira'. Ann shrugged, "Well it was your envelope so it was probably set up before the game."
"It wasn't my envelope, it belonged to the man who was killed. I had to take it." "So you think all along the game leader wanted you to be the Ringmaster." Akira nodded. "Why?" That's where Akira was stumped, she had no idea.
The door to the Morgue opened suddenly. "Hi, Mira wants Akira," Tatta spoke nervously covering his face, so he wouldn't see anything. "What for?" "She wants to talk." Akira nodded and followed Tatta after saying goodbye to Ann.
